ALBERT BENJAMIN LANG, OF PIFRRON, ILLINOIS.

CHURN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 422,950, dated March11, 1890.

Application filed October 28, 1889. Serial No. 328,380. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it kn own that I, ALBERT BENJAMIN LANG, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Pierron, in the county of Bond and State ofIllinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inChurns;and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and eXactdescription of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings,making a part of this specification, and to the letters of referencemarked thereon.

'lhisinvention relates to certain new and useful improvements in churnsgand it has for its object to provide an improved device of thischaracter wherein are provisions for readily removing or attaching thechurn and for securing the same when in place. 1111- proved means arealso provided for imparting motion to the churn dasher.

The invention consists in the peculiar and novel combinations,construction, arrangement, and adaptation of parts, all as more fullyhereinafter described, shown in the drawings, and then particularlypointed out in the appended claim.

The invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings,which, with the letters of reference marked thereon, form apart of thisspecification, and in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of a churnembodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a view at right angles to Fig. 1, withparts in section and with parts broken away. Fig. 3 is a verticalsection on the line w 00 of Fig. 2.

Like letters of reference indicate like parts in all the views.

Referring now to the details of the drawings by letter, A designates asuitable frame adapted to support the churn and its operating mechanism,and supported upon suitable legs a, as shown.

Rising from the frame A, near the center of the length thereof, are theuprights or standards B, in which is suitably journaled the main shaft0, one end of which is extended and is provided with a crank and handleI), as shown more clearly in Fig. 2. Fast upon this shaft is thelargegear-wheel D.

Rising from the frame A, near one end thereof, are the standards oruprights E, in the upper ends of which is journaled the haft c, whichcarries near one end a gear wheel d and near the other end a cam-disk F,or, rather, a diskF, eccentrically journaled or fastened on said shaft,as seen more clearly in Fig. 1.

fis a short upright arranged substantially in one of the standards E isa short shaft 6,

arranged beneath and parallel with the shaft 0. Fast on this shaft aretwo pinions, one a small one g, meshing with the large pinion D' on theshaft O,'and the other a larger one Gr, meshing with the pinion (Z onthe shaft 0, so that as the shaft C is revolved through the medium ofthe crank and handle I), either by hand or other power, the shaft 0 willbe rotat ed through-the medium of the gear-wheels above described. Therelative sizes of the gear-wheels is such that one revolution of thepinion D will cause the gear-Wheel (l to revolve several times, as willbe readily under stood.

At the end of the frame A opposite the standards E are the uprights orstandards H, in the upper ends of which is journaled the shaft I,carrying the forked or bifurcated arm J, between the jaws or forks ofwhich the disk F is-designed to operate in such a manner that as thedisk is revolved it will actuate the said forked arm up and down on L isthe churn-body, which may be of any desired known construction and size,provided witha removable cover or lid j, provided centrally with a holefor the passage of the dasher-shaft and to allow free movement thereofup and down.

The churn-body-L is held to the frame in the following manner: Dependingfrom the under side of the frame A, between. the legs thereof, are thearms 75, supported by the short horizontal pieces Z, and one of which ispreferably hinged, as shown at the lefthand side of Fig. 2, so as to bethrown up out of ICO the way when it is desired to remove thechurn-body. The inner adjacent faces of these arms is are formed asshown more clearly in Fig. 3that is,'with a reduced or halved-outportion, as shown at m in Figs. 2

and 3, and with a central vertical rib or tongue n, as shown moreclearly in Fig. 3. Upon the opposite sides of the churn-body are securedthe plates or castings M, provided with suitable ears for this purpose,through which pass the screws or other securing means N. These platesare formed with a vertical slot or passage 0 for the passage of the ribn of the arm is and with an undercut passage 19 for the head of thebolts 0, which pass through the slot o with their heads in the undercutchannel, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, and upon their other ends arethreaded to receive the jam-nuts P, by means of which they are tightenedto hold the churn-body in 1 Byloosening the nuts I the churn-body may beeasily removed by allowing it to drop the bolts remaining in g the arms76 ready to receive the body when it its adjusted position.

is desired-to replace it, the heads of the bolts fitting in the undercutchannels and the bolts working in the slots 0 in the castings or platesM.

What I claim as new is In a churn, the combination, with the frame andthe dasher and its operating mechanis1n, of the churn-body, the platesupon opposite sides thereof and formed with vertical slot and undercutchannels, and the arms depending from the frame and provided withvertical rib, and the bolts having their heads working in the undercutchannels and the bolts passed through the vertical slots and providedwith jam-nuts, substantially as and for the purpose specified. ,7 T Intestimony that I claim the'above I have hereunto subscribed my name inthe presence of two Witnesses.
